How strong is a T-56 Magnum?
It has its roots in the venerable T-56 but is designed for much more powerful engines, with a torque rating of 700 lb-ft, that’s serious capacity from a factory-built manual transmission. It’s also the “guts” of Tremec’s aftermarket-based T-56 Magnum transmission.
What is the difference between a T-56 and a T-56 Magnum?
The Magnum is shown at left and the T-56 is on the right. The most notable difference between the input shaft used in the T-56 and the TR-6060 and Magnum is the bearing hardware, which is much larger in the TR-6060 and Magnum. This helps the transmission endure significantly increased torque.
How much torque can a T-56 Magnum hold?
Featuring a 700 lb. -ft. maximum torque capacity, the T56 has an exterior case similar to the fourth-generation F-body transmission. The T56 also includes stronger, high-capacity gear sets, input shaft and output shaft used in the TREMEC TR6060.
How much power can a stock T56 hold?
You are good for the 600-700 range for awhile. The worst thing that could happen is you will strip the gear on the input and countershaft next or break the output.
Is a T56 good?
“Once you get to about 700 horsepower, the T56 is done,” says Rodney Massengale, at RPM Transmissions, in Anderson, Indiana. “It’s a very good transmission, but just wasn’t designed for the kind of power that LS engines have been pumping out for the last few years.” And what about the Viper version of the T56?

How much torque does a TKO 5 speed have?
The TKO 5-speed is an early top-loader–style transmission rated for up to 600 lb-ft of torque capacity, and it can be reliably shifted at engine speeds up to 6,200 rpm.
What’s the difference between a Magnum and a TKO?
People often evaluate the TKO and Magnum only in “5-speed vs. 6-speed” context, which we think is 100 percent the wrong way to approach the decision. The two transmissions use completely different architectures, and, not surprisingly, have several unique characteristics that set them apart.
Is the Tremec TKO 5 speed a top loader?
The TKO 5-speed is an early top-loader–style transmission rated for up to 600 lb-ft of torque capacity, and it can be reliably shifted at engine speeds up to 6,200 rpm. This tends to be suitable for the vast majority of 4-to-5-speed conversions.
Which is better a Magnum or TR 6060?
As a derivative of the current-production TR-6060, the Magnum is much more indicative of the transmissions we build for today’s OEM muscle cars. It can handle more torque (easily, 700 lb-ft) and engine rpm (up to 7,800) and does so with much better shift quality.
